Course content
The bachelor thesis is defined within the various relevant disciplines, and preferrably in cooperation with a local company. The candidate chooses her-/himself the subject of the thesis from a defined list of problems or challenges. The thesis can be experimental or practical, defined by NTNU or be defined according to the students' own desire. The candidate shall through her/his thesis gain experience in independent and systematic engineering project work, as well as plan and control the implementation of a larger project. The project content shall be based on the skills and knowledge that the candidate has acquired up to this point in the course, but it can also include learing new methods and tools to solve the challenge. The result of a project can e.g. be a finished product, a prototype, an investigation, a testing programme, etc.
